The Social and Cultural History of Palestine
Explores the social and cultural landscape of Palestine under Late Ottoman and British rule Highlights the rise of social and cultural history within scholarly research on Palestine Discusses issues of gender, class, race and empire, set against the background of the diverse Palestinian society of the first half of the 20th century Draws on a wide range of archival materials in Arabic, Hebrew, Ottoman Turkish, French and other languages, many of …
The Social and Cultural History of Palestine
Since the turn of the millennium, histories of Late Ottoman and especially Mandate Palestine have moved away from the political framing of the Arab-Israeli conflict to consider questions of society and culture, as well as, increasingly, adopting frameworks such as environmental and medical history. One of the most important voices in this movement, as a scholar and as a mentor of others’ work, has been Salim Tamari. This volume brings together ne…
Comparative History and Ethnography in William Ellis’s Polynesian Researches
This article develops recent scholarly efforts to take seriously the scientific work of evangelical missionaries in the South Pacific. Ellis’s Polynesian Researches gives us an insight into the broader issue of the way in which theological concepts could inform the framework of missionaries’ observations of the traditions, manners and functioning of human societies. Central to Ellis’s observations was the idea of idolatry. I argue that Ellis brou…
Cultural Entanglement in the Pre-Independence Arab World
This book examines the ways in which non-Arabic cultural influences interacted with the rich, complex and sometimes conflictual environment of the Arab world in the pre-independence era. It comprises a series of 11 detailed case studies, including topics such as the songs of Egyptian forced labourers in the British Army in World War I, the translation and commentary of an Ottoman text in interwar Palestine, and the contested use of French in the …
Enlightenment Ethnography on the Global Periphery
This article contributes to the recent scholarly efforts to take seriously the kinds of scientific work undertaken by missionaries to the South Pacific in the eighteenth-century Anglophone world. It explores the ethnographic and natural historical work undertaken by Captain Wilson and his missionaries on the Duff voyage to the South Pacific in the 1790s. It argues that not only was Wilson practicing science in the form of ethnography and natural …
From Little Gidding to Virginia
This article explores the significance of the seventeenth-century Ferrar family’s involvement in Atlantic colonialism, and their interest in compiling natural histories of the various flora and fauna in the Virginia colony, particularly the silkworm. I argue that the Ferrars’ involvement in colonial enterprises, in particular the Virginia Company, was underpinned by a theology which centred upon the idea of recovering man’s original dominion over…
The Sagacity of the Indians”
English privateer and amateur ethnographer William Dampier’s work abounds with admiring descriptions of the knowledge and skills of the indigenous societies he encountered on his global voyages. These positive descriptions of indigenous culture make a surprising juxtaposition against the tenor of ethnography little more than a century later, when biological theories of race grounded disparaging attitudes toward indigenous cultures. This article e…
Nature, Knowledge, and Civilisation. Connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Worlds in the Enlightenment
A central feature of Scottish Enlightenment thought was the emergence of stadial or “conjectural” theories of history, in which the development of all human societies, from those in Europe, to the Seminole Indians in Florida and the Tongans of the South Pacific, could be understood and compared according to the same universal historical criteria. This paper argues that central to this tradition was an account of the relationship between “useful k…
Natural Science and the Origins of the British Empire
Represents a history of the British Empire that takes account of the sense of empire as intellectual as well as geographic dominion: the historiography of the British Empire, with its preoccupation of empire as geographically unchallenged sovereignty, overlooks the idea of empire as intellectual dominion
